PREFACE. 



It is perhaps due the Committee and pat- 
rons, that some statement be made by the 
publisher of this book. The unforseen delays 
in receiving copy, some of which had to be 
returned for correction, and the inexperience 
of workmen in this special kind of bookwork, 
may have occasioned and left some uncorrect- 
ed errors, which were unavoidable. Hoping 
that the book as it is may give general satis- 
faction, and merit a continuance of your 
confidence and esteem, I am, 

Your Obediant Servant, 

W. P. Brush.

bodying in it the resolution adopted by this Associa-

resolution was adopted, and the following named gen- 
tlemen appointed as such committee : W. E. Camp- 
bell, T. F. Pryor and W. S. Snow. The address is as 
follows: 

TO TEXAS CATTLE DROVERS. 

An Address to the Texas Cattle Drovers from the Southwestern Kansas 
and Indian Territory Stock Association. 

At a meeting of the above named Association, held in the City 
of Caldwell, on the 1st and 2nd days of March, 1882, the follow- 
ing resolution, adopted at its meeting in March. 1881, was re- 
affirmed, and the undersigned appointed a committee to publish 
a suitable address in accordance therewith : 

Resolved. That in order to prevent the spread of disease among 
the wintered cattle held on the Cherokee Strip, there ought to be 
established, and rigidly maintained, a proper line of separation 
and quarantine between through cattle and said win tertd cat- 
tle; and that this convention recommend the establishment and 
maintenance of the following quarantine line, and request the 
active co-operation of the Cherokee Council and all stockmen 
driving through cattle into the Cherokee Strip, in maintaining 
said hue. Osage Creek shall be the western boundary for 
through cattle ; a line running east from Osage Creek, parallel 
with the northern boundary of the Nez Perces reservation, shall 
be the southern boundary for through cattle ; the Arkansas 
River will be the eastern boundary for through cattle, and the 
State of Kansas shall be the northern boundary. 

The undersigned, after careful consideration of the subject 
do not deem any formal address necessary at this time, believing 
that every cattleman who will drive from Texas this year fully 
understands the situation of the cattle interests in the Tenitory 



36 Proceedings Cherokee Strip. 

and on the boundaries of Kansas, and will, so far as he can, use 
all due care to complv with the request of this Association, and 
respect the rights of those holding wintered and domestic cattle 
in the Territory. , . _ 

The Association feel satisfied that the country selected as a 
holding ground for through cattle is of sufficient scope to fur- 
nish ample grazing for all cattle that may be driven to the 
Caldwell and Hunnewell markets. We would also state that 
the grounds selected are well adapted for grazing purposes . 
having a reasonable amount of timber, abundance of water, and 
are within easy reach of the stock yards at both Caldwell and 
Hunnewell. * ,.,,... 

Further than stating the above facts, we do not believe it nec- 
essary to dwell at length on this subject, feeling assured that our 
through cattle friends will fully appreciate the spirit in which 
the above resolution was adopted and this address put lorth. 

In conclusion, we assure all driving to the above named 
markets that the members of our Association will do all in their 
power to make their sojourn among us both pleasant and profit- 
able. Respectfully, 

W. E. CAMPBELL,^)

We, the undersigned committee, appointed at the convention

round-ups, herewith submit the following report : 

W T e recommend that the Territory known as the Cherokee 
Strip be divided imo three divisions, to-wit: • 

Division No. 1 to be composed of what is known as the Keel 
Fork and Salt Fork country, including the territory north of 



Proceedings Cherokee Strip. 37 

there to the south line of the State of Kansas, and thence west, 
including the Crooked creek and Sand creek country, on the 
State line, to the east line of Comanche County Pool, said di- 
vision to begin round-up at the crossing of Redrbck creek on the 
Arkansas City wagon road, and Abner Wilson to be appointed as 
captain of said division ; the day of the meeting of this division 
to be decided upon by the committee appointed for that pur- 
pose. 

Division No. 2 to be composed of the country lying south of 
Division No. 1, as far south as the Cimmarron and west to the 
line of the Barbour County Pool ; this division to meet to begin 
round-up where the Arkansas City wagon road crosses the Skele- 
toncreek.and John Miller to be appointed captain of said division; 
the day of meeting to be decided upon the same as in Division 
No. 1.. 

Division No. 3 to be composed of the country lying south of 
Division No. 2 to the North Canadian river, thence west to the 
western line of A. J. Day's ranch; said division to meet at 
Caldwell or the Chisholm trail crossing of the North Canadian 
river, and H. W. Timberlake to be appointed captain of said di- 
vision ; the day of meeting to be decided upon in the same man- 
ner as the other divisions. 

And we recommend that the captains of above divisions be 
authorized to subdivide their respective divisions in such man- 
ner as they deem advisable, and appoint captains for such sub- 
divisions, but to retain absolute control of the same. 

We recommend that the following named gentlemen, viz: 
Maj.A. Drumm, M. K Krider, Oliver Ewell, H. W. Timberlake, 
C. H. Manning and John A. Blair be appointed as the commit- 
tee to set the time for each division to commence work, and

shall be published in the Barbour. Harper and Sumner county 
and Darlington papers, and that said committee confer with the 
Barbour County Stock Association at their meeting on the 17th

other men to fill such vacancies, at the expense of the parties 
who were represented by the parties so discharged. 

Mr. E. M. Hewins offered the following resolution, 
which was read and adopted without a dissenting 
voice : 

Resolved, That it is the sense of the stockmen and ranchmen 
of this Association, that the six-shooter is not an absolute ne- 
cessity and necessary adjunct to the outfits of cowboys working 
on the ranges of the Cherokee Strip, and that we deprecate its 
use, except in extreme cases of necessity while on duty in pro- 
tecting the rights of property against Indians and outlaws ; but 
we deprecate the carrying of six-shooters in all cases while vis- 
iting the towns along'the border. 

On motion adjourned, subject to the call of the 
President.

CONDENSED PROCEEDINGS 

OF THE

Resolved, That it is the sense of the stockmen and ranchmen of 
the Cattle Growers' Association of the Southwest, that the six- 
shooter is not an absolute necessity and necessary adjunct to the 
outfit of cowboys working on the ranges of this Association, and 
we deprecate its use except in extreme cases of necessity while 
on duty, in protecting the rights and property against Indians 
nd outlaws. And further, we condemn the habit of carrying 
six-shooters by cowbows or others, especially while visiting any 
of the towns along the border. 

The Committee on Round-ups reported as follows . 

That the general round-up parties shall meet at the several 
respective places named below on the 7th of May, so as to pre-

R. Kirk, \ Committee. 

W. P. EWING, J 

The following resolutions were passed : 

Resolved, That all cows and calves he removed from the herd 
before cutting out the steers. 

Resolved, That no herds be cut out and driven off the ranges 
without first having been inspected for strays. 

Resolved, That we, members of the Cattle Growers' Association 
of the Southwest, do not think it just or our duty to go to the 
expense of gathering up all cattle held by parties within the 
jurisdiction of this Association other than those who have per- 
manent ranches and co-operate with us. 

Resolved, That we, the Cattle Growers of the Southwest, in con- 
vention assembled, do condemn the practice of turning cattle 
loose on the range without any effort to herd or take care of the 
same, and the practice of taking cattle on hire, where such in- 
crease of btock would infringe on the rights of adjoining cattle- 
men, as conduct unworthy any honorable cattleman. 

Resolved, That all calves shall be branded in the marks of their 
dams when found on ranges not their own, and the same report- 
ed and published in the county papers. 

Mr. Kirk moved that the present officers of the 
Association be made the Finance Committee on Brand 
Book. Motion prevailed. 

Adjourned, to meet at Medicine Lodge, November 
15th, 1882.
